superdrug
As I have mentioned on this blog I pretty much only use tea tree face wash because it does my skin the world of good but I hate the scent of tea tree. I used The Body Shop tea tree face wash for a few months but I wanted a change and I knew Superdrug did these scented tea tree face washes that are so much nicer than The Body Shop one.
I went in and they were buy one get one free which was such a steal. I like that they opted for citrus fruits with these face washes because that is the wake up you need in the morning, I'm not the biggest fan of pink grapefruit scents but this face wash isn't that strong and its good for your skin so I'm not complaining! However, I do love lemon. Lemon scented anything, I guarantee I will love so I obviously had to pick up this lemon facewash and lemon is also good for your skin so its a win-win situation.
These foam up quite alot compared to The Body Shop one which is the downside of these because its so annoying and it goes in your eyes which is not enjoyable. I will probably be repurchasing The Body Shop tea tree face wash when these are gone because although the scent is 10x better, The Body Shop one lasts a hell of alot longer and is probably more beneficial to your skin which is the priority. What tea tree face washes would you recommend?
Baby Lips Protecting Berry / LINK
My last post was all about Baby Lip's so just scroll down to see that or click here. I talk about this product in alot depth in that post but for the benefit of todays post I will keep it short. I bought this lip balm just at random, really because I was looking for a new lip balm and this is super moisturising and smells amazing!
Batiste Dry Shampoo Floral / LINK (currently better than half price!)
Batiste is always going to be my favourite dry shampoo, I finished the cherry one of these a few days ago and Superdrug currently have the Batiste dry shampoo's better than half price so that was an offer I could not ignore, so I picked up the floral one which I have never used before but the packaging dragged me in because its so girly and summery which I am totally feeling right now.
Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder / LINK
After noticing alot people in tutorials use powder after foundation I thought I would give this a try. I am a massive fan of the stay matte foundation so I thought I would love this, it is really affordable and has some good reviews. I have used it once over my foundation and I found my face looked abit too powdery but I think that was because the stay matte foundation is powdery anyway so I will save this powder for when I use other foundations.
Rimmel London Hide That Blemish Concealer / LINK
I previously used the stay matte concealer from Rimmel along with the foundation which was really good for me until the concealer stick literally snapped on me so I had to buy a new one. Since the previous one snapped on me I was not buying the same concealer and as I trust Rimmel London products (most of the time), I picked up one of their concealers and this is really good concealer especially if you have oily skin because it is not at all oily.
Tanya Burr Lip Gloss 'Picnic In The Park' / LINK
As you know if you read my favourite youtubers post (here), Tanya Burr is one of my favourite youtubers and she recently launched a nails and lips collection, I am yet to try the nail polish but I am a huge fan of the lip gloss! I got it from eBay because it was £2 cheaper than on the high street. The lip gloss smells so nice and for the price it is so long lasting and not at all sticky.
Rimmel Scandal'Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner Black / LINK
I haven't actually tried this yet and I never really wear eyeliner so I am really excited to work this because I am so safe with my make-up choices so I thought I would start with some more eye make-up and this is just plain black so it isn't too risky.
Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil / LINK
This is amazing! I have never used an eyebrow pencil and this is a first but I have been missing out. My eyebows look so much more defined and I think my make-up routine was just missing that certain something and I found that in this product. Its also so easy to apply and so affordable!
BeautyUK Eyeshadow Palette / LINK
As this is the first eyeshadow palette I have ever purchased, I thought I would start with a relatively cheap brand to see how my eyes looked. This palette was so affordable and the colours are so subtle and I haven't tried all the colours but the ones I have tried, I have loved.
L'Oreal Gentle Eye Make-up Remover / LINK
I was in need of something that would remove my eye make-up because face wipes just weren't doing it and I woke up with mascara on my face far too many times. I literally just typed in 'eye make-up remover' on Amazon and this was the first one I found and it works so well! I will be using this alot more now that I have purchased alot more eye make-up.
That is all! I never realised there were so many products in this post. Hope you all enjoyed :)

-Boots Natural Collection Vanilla Body Lotion - Something I've never tried is the 'Natural Collection' in Boots. Alot of friends have the body sprays which smell amazing! So excited to use them all, I've used this body lotion once and the smell is divine.
-Boots Natural Collection Vanilla Shower Cream - The second addition to my 'Natural Collection' purchases, I used this along side the body lotion when I last showered and together was just an overload of vanilla scent which is never bad, right?
-Boots Natural Collection Vanilla Body Spray - This is now a permanent item in my handbag. I got this on Saturday, took it out with me on Sunday and today. Its not the longest lasting scent but its a good pick me up when you've been out for a while.
-V05 'Plump It Up' Shampoo and Conditioner - After about 10 minutes in the shampoo aisle in Superdrug, I decided on getting this. This is my first V05 purchase ever really? Last night when I washed my hair, I used these and it really did give my hair more volume which is just what my hair needs. I think this may become my new favourite shampoo but that is ever changing so we'll see..
-New Look Bobby Pins - Are all bobby pins the same? Well these are the first ones I've bought from New Look but knowing me they won't last very long as they seem to disappear into thin air, just me?
-Kelly Brook Nail Varnish in shade 'Blue Winter Rose' - These are £2.99 in New Look so I can't complain. I haven't used it yet so it may not be the best nail varnish in the world but its a pretty shade and surprisingly a shade I do not already own.
-LUSH Whoosh Shower Jelly - I love the LUSH Shower Jellies, I have owned the 'Sweetie Pie' shower jelly about 3 times now and I love the scent. This is my first try of the 'Whoosh' one and to be honest I'm not loving the scent as much as the other one but never the less it still smells amazing.
-New Look Purse - I honestly didn't need a new purse at all, I literally bought a new one last month but this was so pretty I couldn't ignore it.
So that is the end of my lil' haul, hope you all enjoyed. Do you like me doing haul posts? Let me know :)
P.S I may not do a blog post for a couple of days due to the amount of homework I currently have but I will probably find a million excuses not to do my homework and make a blogpost so follow me on bloglovin' to catch the next one (link in sidebar)

Haul | Forever 21, Superdrug, The Body Shop & Lush ♡
♥ Cha-ching purse. I got this because I was in need of a new purse, it wasn't in the sales. Actually nothing I got from Forever 21 was in the sales. Anyway, I got this purse purely because it feels nice, I wish you could feel it over the internet. It's so soft and the colour is beautiful.
♥ Nail tool set. This was such an impulse buy, I didn't plan on buying a nail kit ever really, but when I saw it I wanted it so much because it also feels really nice and it was quite cheap. I thought if I bought it, I would have more encouragement to shape my nails better and more often because the shape of my nails is truly embarrassing.
♥ Tote Bag. This was also an impulse buy in a way. I did want to buy a bag when I went out just not a tote bag, but when I was in the queue to pay I saw it and I just picked it up as they said 'next please' so I am happy I got it because it's so cute.
Lush
♥ Daddy-O shampoo. I have never used this shampoo before but it smells amazing! To be totally honest I only picked it up because it was purple, then I smelt it, read what it was and bought it. It's a shampoo for blonde's to keep their blonde in check. As my hair is dyed blonde, I thought it might help keep my hair as blonde as possible, for as long as possible. It also smells like palma violets, which is always a bonus.
♥ Ponche shower gel. This shower gel was in the sale, there was only 2 shower gels in sales and this was the best one if you ask me. Its called 'Ponche' which is a cool name, it smells amazing (like everything in lush) and it was reduced to £3 I think. They had bigger ones but I thought about it and I already got about 5 bottles of shower gel for Christmas so I didn't need it.

The Body Shop
♥ Cranberry Joy Body Polish. I really didn't need anything I got from The Body Shop but last year I got a lot of cranberry joy products and this year I got none, I thought they just didn't make any this year so when I went to The Body Shop I was unbelievably happy when I saw them. This body polish was 50% off and the lid is abit broken but I'm sure I'll survive.
♥ Cranberry Joy Body, Linen & Room Spray. I absolutely love The Body Shop's body, linen and room spray's, I think I've been through about 5 this year. I also love cranberry joy so this was something I just had to buy, even though I didn't really need it.
♥ Sweet Lemon Hand Cleanse Gel. This is the first hand cleanse gel I've ever bought from The Body Shop and I've used it once since yesterday. I love lemon so I can't see myself hating it and its the perfect size to put in your bag.
Superdrug
♥ Tea Tree Mud Mask. I got 2 of these and its probably my a millionth time buying them, tea tree face masks are all I really use as they leave my skin looking and feeling amazing. The Superdrug ones are favourite, I also love The Body Shop tea tree face mask as well, its just a bit overpriced for what it is.
♥ L'oreal Triple Resist Hair Masque. This is my first time using a L'oreal hair masque and one of the first hair masques I've really used. I've used it once since I got it and it smells amazing, left my hair untangled and my hair looking amazing so I can't complain so far. I may do a full length review on it in the future.
♥ Batiste Coconut & Exotic Tropical Dry Shampoo. This is the first time I've used this specific dry shampoo, I've always used Batiste as a dry shampoo and never been disappointed. I usually use the one made specifically for blondes, it doesn't smell as good as this one but my hair looks slightly lighter after using it.
I also bought a Teen Vogue as you can see in my first image because its one of my favourite magazines!
That is it for my haul, I hope you liked it. I hope to do a haul at least once a month because they are fun posts to make and it gives me an excuse to go shopping.

Mini Haul!

| The haul. |
The boots! I love these boots. I have been searching for a new pair of boots for ages now and these just stuck out for me. They are from Forever 21 & they are extremely comfy ah. I don't have much to say about these boots apart from the fact that I love them!

| Products. |
I took a picture separately of the beauty products because they weren't as visible in the above picture. So starting with the Neutrogena moisturiser, I was in need of a new moisturiser and as my skin is acne prone I thought I would give it a try! It smells like pink grapefruit which is amazing and its pink. I might do a review of it when I finish the tube because it is the first time of me using it.
The simple revitalising eye roll-on is a product I have used in the past so I know I definitely will like it. Its the perfect product for tired eyes (for me anyway). It doesnt physically make your eyes look better as I do suffer from dark circles but when I use it my eyes do feel more awake. Is that the right word? It might just be a mental thing because I know its supposed to wake you up but I don't know I feel like it makes a difference. Its affordable also so go try it out.
Carmex is a lip balm I have surprisingly never used and I guess now its winter I need a new lip balm as I have been using eos lip balm basically all year. I bought it purely because it was cherry which may have no been a good reason but cherry is the perfect flavour so I thought why not? I used it as we were leaving superdrug and it made my lips feel like they could breathe (if you can imagine that feeling) it is definitely a product I can see myself buying again even if I have only used it once.
Lastly, my pink nail polish from topshop. If you don't know what topshop is, its basically a high street clothing store and they have a make up section. I have literally never thought of even looking in the make up section but on tumblr I always see pictures of topshop nail polish and I thought its about time I try one so I did. I put in on my nails about an hour ago and it hasn't chipped yet aha. I do like it though, its looks alot brighter on my nails than it did in the bottle but I really like it anyway.
So yeah this is my first blog post! Thank you for reading, if you managed to make it to the end. I will try and post at least twice a week on this blog so I can gain an audience.
